The initial question was about IN SCHOOL. Did you learn in school that
-the North had worse POW camps than Andersonville based on deaths?

-there were black slaveowners in America and that blacks sold slaves to white traders?

-that America intentionally fire-bombed civilians in both Japan and Germany?

-that the north did not fight the Civil War to free the slaves?

I didn't, but I am almost 60 and went to public school.

I appreciate the history lesson - but nothing you said explains why Texas explicitly stated that the threat to slavery was the cause for secession. And Texas wasn't the only one; other seceding states listed the threat to slavery as the primary cause for secession.

And it's not like that's the only evidence. The historical record is overwhelming - it really is that clear. You keep alluding to "other issues" - and there were other issues, but none was worthy of seceding, and most were related to slavery in some way.

I am 67 and received a superb education.

I believe that there was not a single black person who was originally sold into slavery by any groups except other black persons in Africa and/or INDIAN TRIBAL groups by by other "native American"groups here in North America
